This Saturdays Lottery Thunderball was 12 - so my orders are to spend the day wearing a kilt.. and with the bonus ball being 05 that means I get to choose any day before the next draw (Weds)
So, this morning I chose the Royal Stewart 16oz wool kilt with a rubber jock underneath and wore that to work, changing into my work uniform on arrival instead. Was as usual pretty dead at 6am so apart from the security guard, don't think anyone else saw me.. no-one commented anyway. Was quite busy as I left at 3pm though.. didn't hang around, but wondering if anyone will say anything to me tomorrow.
My flatmate has seen me in both my kilts a few times so was no great surprise to him to see me in it, though don't think he realised that had worn it to work. Nipped to the local shop just outside the tower block I live in about an hour after getting home, could see the guy who served me have a good look but he didn't say anything.. same with a woman who was leaving my block as I went back in - just having a good stare.
Have had a bit of a 'thing' for highland dress ever since was a kid.. and bought my first kilt (the one I wore today) off ebay last year. Although have worn it around the flat a number of times only worn it out in public once - to the Dr Who 50th anniversary convention in London last Nov. I think some of the Asian guys down there though it a bit odd judging from some of the looks I got but the only people to actually say anything (all women) were all positive about it. So, given how amazingly comfortable I find a kilt is to wear and how today has gone, am wondering if could get away with wearing a kilt out and about in Manchester more often?
